The Many Breeds of Ubuntards
Like most religions, Ubuntu has different factions among its followers. There are the die hards, the excited newbies, the evangelists, and the old-timers among others. They may vary in degrees of knowledge, experience, willingness to learn, and maturity, but they all have one thing in common: they’re all Ubuntards.
The Die Hard
Bio: The Die Hard is out in force on Ubuntu forums and social media, commenting on blogs and tweeting about the latest upcoming Ubuntu features. The drivel this guy spews is inane and forgettable stuff, characterized by comments that treat Ubuntu as if it is the only distribution in existence. He downloaded Ubuntu 2 years ago after seeing his leet hax0r friend running fluxbox at university.
Blog Title: WTF Ubuntu FTW
Ubuntu Flavor: Ubuntu Alpha pre-release
Experience Level: Moderate
Catch Phrase: “I can’t wait for Karmic, it’s supposed to boot in 10 seconds and the new boot splash is AWESOME!”

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

Commentary like this is the type of juvenile, over the top zealotry that gives Linux a bad name. To say this guys rants are offensive is a gross understatement. There are many places in the Linux community to have intelligent discourse on one distro versus another. This website should be one of them, not a clearinghouse for scummy trash talk.The internet is a big place - flush this detritus down the toilet and let it find another resting place with the rest of the hate speech.

oh come on man, where's your sense of humor?
Ubuntards
Yeh links like this, helios blog and beranger have no place on this site. BTW why was my previous post deleted? All I said as haha that's mean.
"Yeh links like this..."
You're putting the Blog of Helios in with those that are offensive? Are you kidding?
uh huh.
uh huh.
re: delete
BTW why was my previous post deleted?
You musta forgot to click the Post button after preview. I didn't delete any posts. I didn't even see it.
re-tards
I agree that this is not a worthy post for tuxmachines.
The English taunt "'tard" or "retard" for a mentally retarded person may be funny, as popularized by theregister.co.uk who add "-tard" to the end of anyone they want to make fun of, but when you think about it, it is rather offensive.
I thought it summed up a lot
I thought it summed up a lot of ubuntu users who have been pissing me off for years
Yup. Seems to sum em up.
How Awful
Yes, the article is completely wrong.....
It's UNoobTards - get it right already - geeeeeesh!
Amusing
Whether it's Ubuntards, or vonskippys UNoobTards, I'm familiar with some of the characters described in the blog.
Funny stuff.
Ubuntu Tiresome Troll
The whole "let's make fun of people who use Ubuntu" schtick was amusing for a little while, but it's gotten really old.
In honor of this guy's blog, I will go install Ubuntu on another computer this weekend.
the year of the linux never came
Thanks to people like this, the year of linux never came and never will. When something is making it to the top you pull it down. This is always the down side of being popular, people with "minor-mentality" will go against you (sad story, ubuntu is not an exemption).
Anyway... I agree it is offensive
Atang1. You are still using
Atang1. You are still using WinME?????
You must be the only person I've come across that installed that heap of doodah and kept it.
